Hello ! Firstly , I thank you to you who.are reading this and looking at the screen of his cellphone ! Haha :) XOXO

I rolled my eyes as Lola passed me the tickets. “X Factor? Really?” “Oh Daisy don’t be such a grump, it’ll be fun!” She smiled. It was her 17th birthday in September and she said she was going to get us tickets to a gig. I thought she meant Kings of Leon or Beyoncé but oh no, she had bought me and her tickets to the First live show of X Factor 2010. I didn’t complain too much seeing as it was her birthday party but I really didn’t want to go.I was the year below Lo, just turned 16. I had a brother, Aaron who was 18 and a twin sister called Summer. We lived near London. Life was pretty normal, I’d just broken up with my boyfriend of 6 months, Aaron. We were great together and he was absolutely gorgeous but he started to get clingy and i didn’t want to get so deeply committed at such a young age. Anyway, so i’d also just finished High School, and me and Lola planned to spend the summer sunbathing and partying. We had met when we were three years old at nursery and had been best friends ever since. We didn’t really catch the Auditions and Boot Camp stages, too busy out chasing boys. I saw people’s Facebook status’s about it but never really paid attention. Summer, on the other hand would text me every two minutes telling me who her favorite act from the auditions was. She loved X Factor and I’m pretty sure she would have liked to have gone with us.September came by so fast and before we knew it, it was the day before the first live show. Me and Lo got the train down to central London for some shopping. I got a beautiful dress for the show, a black maxi dress with gold sequin detail from Lipsy and some black heels. I worked part time in a restaurant back home and i would have happily paid for it myself but my mum had insisted on giving me some money as i’d ‘been working hard lately at school’, if only she knew. Lola got a Pale pink Floral dress to compliment her blonde hair.The day of the show we woke up late and did our hair and make up, I straightened my long brown hair and did smokey eye make up. Lola was exited and I was beginning to get into a happy mood. We went for a drink at the hotel bar and i saw lots of fans walking out with their posters. We sat and talked to a barmaid who said she loved X-Factor and wanted Mary to win, she told us to look out for her. We had a last drink and then got a cab to the studios.When we got there it was packed with fans outside the studios waiting for their favourite acts. They had t-shirts, posters and were holding cameras ready to snap the stars. “Saddos” I said to Lola and she whispered back “Shut up! I really want to meet Matt from the auditions-he’s my favourite!” I was so tempted to whisper back “who’s Matt?” it was unreal.We got in and walked into the room itself, it was huge and filling up of poster-clad people. I gave my ticket to an usher who told me our seats were on the front row behind the judges. There must have been some kind of mistake. “What! But we only booked cheap tickets?” said Lola. “You must have received an upgrade” he smiled. Lola shrieked in my ear and practically skipped to our seats. We took our places and I began to need the toilet so I asked Lo to come with but she wanted to save our seats, so I walked up the stairs and out a little door at the back.People were everywhere, whispering things into walkie talkies, and everyone seemed determined for the show to go off without a hitch. I don’t know how but i guess i must have left the public section and entered backstage because i started seeing less and less people. There was a labyrinth of corridors and I was easily lost, I took two lefts and a right and ended up in a deserted corridor. Scared someone might find me and shout at me, I took my phone out, desperately trying to find Lola’s number and that was when I heard his voice.
